xQc and HasanAbi are among the most successful streamers on Twitch. HasanAbi recently claimed in a stream that streaming is harder than a real job
, which xQc does not accept.
What is behind this statement? In the Twitch scene, there are ongoing discussions about how demanding the profession of a streamer is compared to other jobs. Recently, an indirect discussion developed between the two well-known streamers Félix xQc
and Hasan HasanAbi
about this.
“A real job doesn’t suck your soul out of your body”
What did HasanAbi say? HasanAbi is particularly known for his political streams and commentary. The political streamer claimed on February 24 in a stream on Twitch that streaming is harder than a real
job. He argued that conventional work can be brutal
and draining
, but it doesn’t burden the soul as much
as streaming does.
In particular, he emphasized that hours of streaming would elevate mental exhaustion to another level. HasanAbi’s statements were captured in a 20-second clip that has gone viral on various platforms, including X.
You can watch the complete video with timestamp (27:50) on Twitch. Here you can see the clip with his statement:
HasanAbi says: The clip was “totally taken out of context”
On February 24, HasanAbi responded on X and said that the clip was taken out of context. He compared it to his previous job as a salesperson. HasanAbi additionally emphasizes in the post that he can recognize every day how lucky he is:
It’s wild how this completely out-of-context clip made its way to Twitter so quickly. I was talking about how much a 9-hour stream drains my social battery & how I can’t socialize afterward, and I compared it to my sales job before.
I realize how lucky I am every day!
How did xQc react? The original claims in the short clip from HasanAbi triggered a reaction from xQc. He responded in a reaction stream on Twitch, suggesting that HasanAbi should try a job as a salesperson to experience the actual difficulties.
xQc expressed that he personally would generally prefer to sit on his dumb butt
rather than deal with the everyday challenges of the real
working life.
He cited examples of dealing with difficult customers, clients, or bosses. xQc implied that in some jobs, there is often a desire to express some harsh comments – only that one cannot do it without consequences.
He gave a few examples and then apologized to his chat for his outbursts. He had forgotten that he was streaming on Twitch.
What does the community say? Not only did xQc react to HasanAbi’s statement, but numerous users on X also responded. We have summarized a few comments for you:

A few years ago, xQc bought a luxury car, which he gave to his girlfriend because he didn’t have a driver’s license. Now he apparently regrets it: Twitch streamer without a driver’s license transfers car for 290,000 € to his girlfriend – who is now selling it
